Dec 13, 201210Braveheart deserves 100/100 rating. This movie is incredible with its natural and emotional scenes, with epic battles, sieges and ambushes. It might be not quite right historically but as movie it is perfect, so I see no reason not to rate it 10.

Nov 9, 20129Just really good. You take an intriguing story from history, mix it together with a camera, some fine actors, a pinch of badassery supplied by one Mel Gibson and a heavy infusion of thought, care and execution and you get something really rewarding.

Oct 8, 20128Braveheart is a very nice tale of oppressed Scottish folk standing up to the tyrannical English. It works in all the right places and succeeds despite historical inaccuracies and slightly over-the-top sentimentality. Kudos for having bloody battle sequences that still shock a good 18 years after the film was made!

Jul 21, 201210one of the best fiction based on a historical event! Superlike for acting,story,photography,music and thrill that truly connects with audience. hats off mel

Apr 18, 20120Historically incorrect, jingoistic, over acted, stupid charaterisations, ridiculous and childish script and an aging, tired lead with bouffant hair and bad makeup. Can the Yanks make a more awful movie? Sadly, the answer is yes, yes, yes! The Academy Awards just made fools of themselves again with this one.

Apr 4, 20126This movie is flat out sick and disgusting but it had a compelling story and Mel Gibson gave a great performance. The movie was a little long and a bit boring at times though.
-
Feb 13, 201210Although it may be historically inaccurate, Braveheart is a very compelling and memorable film. The acting, story, and war scenes are great. Definitely one of my favorite movies.
-
Feb 9, 20127A complete masterpiece. A fantastic movie about honor and fighting for your freedom. This movie made me cry, laugh, and scream for joy. It is an incredible inspirational underdog story about fighting for freedom. Mel Gibson makes another fantastic movie and is amazing in it too. I was so moved by this movie and it will be in my favorites for a long long time. HIGHLY recmmend!

Dec 30, 20117Great movie. Also the soundtrack is very nice. Mel Gibson is a great producer.
The best movie in his genre. Anyway the best battle fights in all time, even gladiator and Lord of the Rings the big battles are not as great as in Braveheart. -

Oct 24, 20118Although the historical accuracy is questionable there is no doubting that this is an epic movie that will become a classic along the lines of Zulu as time passes, however the movie is driven by the superb fight scenes which feel raw, brutal and savage. The storyline is solid and the acting is excellent and overall this film is a great way to pass a rainy day.
-
Sep 26, 20110reeks of pathos and cheese. not to mention it completely gave up historic accuracy for dramatic effect. sure, there are worse, but simply for the fact it won the most undeserved oscars in history, I have to give it a 0.

Jul 29, 201110One Of The Greatest Films Ever Made In The History Of Ciema.Braveheart Is Truly A Great Film,Action Sequences Were Superb So Was Music So Was The Film
-
Jul 18, 20111this "movie" totally disappointed me. totally. i feel awful about the storyline, especially how it mixed romances like trainwrecks :( awful awful awful
-
Jan 8, 20117Nice movie. It will be a classic in the future. Great story and very well played by Mel Gibson. Nice music.
-
Dec 10, 20107'Braveheart' means well, provides a few emotionally wrenching segments, and won't disappoint gore fans, but the film's content will make historians feel sick to their stomachs.
-
Nov 12, 20108Mel Gibson's great performance
-
Aug 27, 20105As far as epics go, Mel Gibson aims for a sprawling vision in the likes of David Lean. However, by putting antics before aesthetics, 'Braveheart' is at its core not much more than a glorified melodrama - not necessarily a bad thing (it just makes the surplus of sentimental moments painful to sit through)

KeirBJul 11, 20085Great music, and Cinematography. The irony of this film is that Mel Gibson preaches the importance of freedom, yet could care less if Jewish and homosexuals are denied theirs.

PierreCDec 3, 200710When I rate a movie, I try to imagine the best possible scenario for that movie. Everything from the acting (e.g. Tom Hanks) to the cinematography was spectacular. I could honestly not imagine it done differently. It's an inspirational and captivating film that everyone should watch in their lifetime. Pure gold!

-
WAJun 2, 20072Battle scenes that cross the line from realism to pure comedy, plus more cheese then Wisconsin and more corn than Iowa. Music is good though.

BillyK.Nov 21, 200610This is one of the best movies ever made. Gibson is a true genius. He not only does a magneficent job as William Wallace, he directs and guides the film with such beauty and passion.

BobS.Jun 23, 200611 for cheek. Ludicrous - Mel Gibson should not be allowed out with millions of dollars to spend without proper guidance.

JayD.Apr 28, 200610I was curious to see what this movie was ranked by critics and normal folk alike. I must say that I am shocked to see it only getting a 66 by critics. Wow! Shame on some of you. In addition, I certainly don't feel like I need to comment on this movie; the people with good taste have already done that for me.

georgec.Jun 19, 200510I'm hooked when ever I see it. Its an inspirational movie, well like all Mel Gibson ones. KEEP IT UP, I wish that me & my family meet you in person.

-
RDNJun 3, 20050The problem is, people will start to believe this historical nonsense. But it keeps the Scots angry at the English, so it can't be all bad.

MuratS.Mar 27, 200510When the words are not enough, you should be in the silence. However I do not believe we can award this movie with points. It would be so unfair. When we think about space, that has no end, this movie is same, it has not an end neither.

DaveC.Oct 24, 20047Often hagiographic, sentimental and bigotted (every Englishman is devoid of mercy or humanity, expecially King Edward's gay son, every Scotsman is a tough, macho hero) Braveheart nevertheless works thanks to the sheer passion that has gone into it. Battle sequences are well executed, Mel Gibson delivers the performance of his career and the film is directed with remarkable energy.

VladTheImpalerAug 21, 20040Pretty much the worst recent example of a genre.

DavidJ.May 23, 200410This is a great relatively accurate historical movie where they aren't afraid to show violence and the way war was fought in the medieval era.

TelyS.Feb 7, 200410A glorious revelry in pure masculine pride with passion and poetry to spare.

-
PatC.Jan 7, 20047No No No No No. This was not the best picture of the year. This was Mad Max in a kilt. The best actors were all part of the English royalty. The English and Scots fought for centuries to control their shared island. To this day the question remains, why?

PiscesJun 18, 200310This movie is about Courage, Love, Passion and above all Freedom, which can only be conquered when a person is brave enough to listen to his/her heart. I feel sorry for those who didn't get the message...

BrentOct 2, 200110An excellent movie with a classic script.

70Gibson's raw energy and storytelling power in Braveheart are undeniable. If the film doesn't meet his ambitions, it's because he set the bar so high.
-
30Braveheart is too much, too late.
-
Never tries to confuse our loyalties or question the strategies of our hero or bring home the all-embracing soul-destroying horrors of war for all sides. Braveheart may be rip-roaring, but it isn't all that brave.
